perfsonar development work

[Loukik Kudarimoti <>]

Dear all,

From today onwards, we intend to make extensive use of the 
perfsonar-release mailing list. We request that for all release 
management related issues (handover, micro-release, release candidates, 
documentation, bug fixes, etc), please send emails to the 
 mailing list instead of addressing me or 
Luis or Jeff individually.

Release management has become a critical process especially in the light 
of  ISS (In Service Support). There are 3-4 people involved in 
release-management. In order to make sure that we all are aware of  the 
issues and that to provide backup for one another, we would like to make 
use of this  mailing list.

If you are wondering who can contact the release management team using 
this mailing list and how? Frankly, anybody can send an email. But this 
is how we think it will work

1) All emails from developers about issues such as handover, 
micro-releases, release candidates, documentation, bug fixes, etc will 
be notified to this mailing list (instead of individuals)
2) The list will be the 'QA contact' for bug reports related to certain 
components (installation scripts) and certain products 
(perfsonar-bundle). This way we can keep track of specific issues which 
concern the release management.
3) The service desk --> This interaction is being defined.

The mailing list is moderated. Any of you can send emails (I will 
approve and add you to the list) but you will not receive emails sent 
exclusively to this group. (Archives will be available anyway)

If you have any queries, please feel free to ask any of us.

thanks,
Loukik.
